Shinhan Proleague Weekly Recap June 23rd-27th 2007

ACE got off to an early start, as the surprising Mumyung managed to overcome one of the new Terran OGN players in Shine. The second game would consist of two old players of the game in Boxer and Zeus. Zeus convincingly manages to beat Boxer though, using scouts! The third game was a bit odd, as Bifrost, as usual, stuffs up and gives the game to ACE. The last game was a huge suprise as Luxury, known for his stellar ZvZ, manages to lose to the under-performing Clon. Luxury showed very poor micro during this game though.

New players in both Jangbi and Pure get sent out to the deep end to duke it out, Pure comes out on top. The second game shows that FireBatHero is indeed, the new Terran vs Terran master, easily running over Nada. The third game was a walk in the park for Samsung. The 4th game was a huge suprise, with Rock showing that Nada doesn't have to be the only card for Pantech, as he beats Stork. Speaking of which, Stork just simply demoralises Control in the ace match as a huge all-in blunder from Control leaves him behind in the match, and forced to type GG.

Both fOrGG and Tester win the first two matches convincingly. Odd mistakes from both teams in the 2v2, but eSTRO manages to climb ontop. In the 4th match, an old, shriveled Eliza cannot keep up with today's macro standards as he is steamrolled by Anytime. In the ace match, Anytime is sent out again, but a nice timing push by the creative Upmagic secures eSTRO a rare win.

July and Kingdom get beaten by macro-style plays in KaL and Sheis. SKT's 2v2 team pulls out a odd victory, while Midas gets lucky against Hwasin. Unfortunately iloveoov couldn't produce the win for SK Telecom as the clutch player, Calm now has an impressive record being ace.

No suprises here as in the first 2 games, The struggling Sync loses out to Xellos, while rA is dumbstrucked on a Terran favoured map by Iris. The CJ team could not handle the teamwork of KTF in the 2v2, while mechanic-turtle style play from Darkelf manages to humiliate Chojja.

A match which ended up from mass vultures to mass wraiths ends up with Sea winning over Yooi. Possibly the shortest match this season, poor Pokju is humiliated as a proxy build by Bisu in his mineral line. The 2v2 game is suprising as probably the best 2v2 team this season in Namoo/Max gets outclassed and outplayed by Jaehoon and TheZerg.

Recently former Night Elf Player-turned Terran, Freedom gets Samsung off to an early start, overcoming the stumbling Mumyung. FireBatHero shows again why he is the new King of Terran vs Terran, simply destroying ChRh. A shock to all in the 2v2 game, as the once known, undefeatable 2v2 team of TT and Sigamari, get demolished by oldschoolers fOru and Clon. In the 4th game, Stork's macro just simply shook Boxer over as he eventually lost grip of the game.

Probably the longest, overall team match this season. YellOw[ArnC] easily handles Silent_Control in the first game. A long, long game on Geometry which resulted in battlecruisers for Gogo as Nada couldn't keep up economically wise. The 2v2, turn 1v1 between GGoma and Zeus, ends up with strangely GGoma with the victory. A fabulous strategy displayed by Silver, as he manages to humiliate Shine with an impressive, offensive hatchery expansion, to fast Guardians to mass hydralisks. Shine was speechless when he saw what came to him. The ace game you could say, was probably the most boring ever, as Chalrenge managed to struggle for a draw for over 40 minutes. The KeSPA official felt that rematch should have occured. Rock was very annoyed in this, but he brang on the punishment in the rematch.

fOrGG shows his new style of Terran by beating Canata. Shudder replies with his own style by beating Anytime. After that, the 2v2 team just demolished the poor SKT 2v2 team, while iloveoov shows poor play against Jaedong.

Kal gets Soul off to a good start, taking out Up on Monty. Tester though, replies by blitzing the mediocre Child. eSTRO's 2v2 suprises Soul, winning against Calm and Hwasin, while mistakes from Soo couldn't get Soul over the line as Magma defeats him.
